Twisted Crows by Will Canduri is like a journey through time as you slowly begin to immerse yourself in the world he has created. While it is a collection of short stories, Canduri creates a world that is tangible and realistic, each story unique in the way they tell their stories. I am saying their because I can see each story in the anthology as its character. Having published before and this book being his third, Canduri has proven to have a consistent structure in writing, allowing for a balance between his rich characters and the stories themselves. Some of them are fairly straightforward in their narrative but leave you with a lingering feeling of wanting more. Stories like Rot In Hell and Ludovico feel dark and almost cinematic. Creepy, enchanting, colorful, and full of life is how I would describe Canduri’s work. Twisted Crows is an impressive addition to his published works and this one is sure to catch the attention of those looking for a captivating and thought-provoking read.

The author touches on the supernatural and the inexplicable as the book progresses. The reader’s attention is caught from the very beginning and the book is hard to put down as they want to find out what else is in store.

Twisted Crows has many characters but, somehow, they each in their own way take the reader by the hand and lead them down the paths that twist and turn throughout the stories. Obviously, the reader understands that some of these stories have been translated from Spanish although there are those which are in English. Still, the translation has been done so well that unless the reader is aware of it, this does not come across as anything but English short stories written about various Latin countries.

Twisted Crows by Will Canduri is well worth reading. Once the reader starts, they will dip into this book from time to time as they absorb and understand the hidden message behind each story.

These illustrations also add to the mystery of each story but the reader must read to the end before fully understanding why this collection of tales works so well.
